1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Bumblebee To Sell At Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016

Let’s be clear about this, I love the Transformers movie series, probably more than I should. So when I saw that the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS “Bumblebee” from Age of Extinction was heading to Barrett-Jackson to be auctioned off during Scottsdale 2015 I sort of let out a yelp that sounded like the noise a teenage girl would make when she found out that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up. It’s not that I thought I had an actual chance to make my dreams come true, the fact that it now had potential to actually exist was enough.

The description says that Bumblebee is powered by an LS2 but the details say LS3, though we doubt this would really matter to whoever buys the car. The important thing for those who may actually want to drive this gem is that it does have a 6-speed manual transmission (yay, a stick!).

The Resto-Mod is currently owned by Michael Bay, the director of the explosion-tastic movie franchise. It’s loaded up with goodies, which include:

  • Custom suspension
  • Mini-tubbed
  • Wilwood brakes + added stunt-extra caliper
  • 9″ Ford rear end
  • Touchscreen navigation stereo system
  • Custom three-piece racing wheels
  • Nitto low-profile tires
  • Custom hideaway Halo LED headlights
  • Yellow Ridetech “TigerCage” rollcage
  • Custom carbon-fiber fender flares and front splitter
  • Power hood latch
  • Satin black paint with high-gloss yellow accents
  • Carbon-fiber engine covers
  • Auto Meter Cobalt gauges
  • System kill within glovebox
  • Eddie Motorsport hood hinges
  • Custom billet core support bars with yellow accents
  • Smoothed firewall
  • Hydraulic braking assist
  • Audi flush-mount door handles
  • Late-model Camaro seats
  • Autographed by its current owner – Michael Bay

Are you as infatuated by the Bumblebee Camaro SS as much as I am, or am I just a big man-child? Speak your mind in the comment section below.

  1. Wow, I love that car. Too bad I have two kids in college – out of state to boot. I wonder what something like that would actually sell for since it isn’t close to stock???

  4. Thanks for making me to get new concepts about desktops. I also hold the belief that one of the best ways to maintain your notebook in best condition is with a hard plastic-type case, or shell, that will fit over the top of the computer. Most of these protective gear are usually model distinct since they are made to fit perfectly across the natural outer shell. You can buy these directly from the vendor, or via third party places if they are readily available for your notebook, however not every laptop may have a cover on the market. Once again, thanks for your recommendations.
